    Patients today have many different health needs and often require more than one health care team member of a different scope of practice. It is nearly impossible for one health care team member to address all problems associated with the patients’ health issues.

The team members had to show respect to each other’s practice and work together to achieve the best possible care for the patient. This IPE event offered a way for the health care team members to share their skills and knowledge with each other, the patient and the family members.…

    During my attendance to the Seattle Children’s Hospital Nursing Camp, I job shadowed multiple Registered Nurses in the Cancer Care Unit, Medical Floor, Operating Room, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In each department, I was able to observe the daily tasks of a nurse and how they interact with different patients. Not only did I job shadow nurses, but I also learned how to different procedures, such as: how to replace a trachea device, take blood pressures, insert feeding tubes, and how to inject vitamins and foods into feeding tubes.

    In the very beginning of the consultation, it is already showing an ineffective information which states, “Why are here, Shona?” This example is already showing few confusions because the nurse has not introduced herself yet which can be very aggressive to a patient who is anxious. Instead, the nurse should have simply stated “Hi, Shona what can I help you with today?” by introducing herself this can have a sense of convenience and safety for Shona; moreover, this can lead to effective assessment on her health. Another ineffective communication example is “So, you think you are having a heart attack?”…

    They found that there was a lack of consistency or accuracy from the nurse’s ability to interpret nonverbal communication. (Happ & Garrett, 2011). “Nurses admit to becoming frustrated, giving up, and avoiding contact with patients with whom communication is difficult” (Happ & Garret, 2011, p.10). When comparing my situation to the situation the nurses face in this article I can relate to the feeling of frustration. From my situation I found that it took me a lot longer to some of the care that was required because since my patient was non-verbal I felt like I need to make sure all the care I could give was given because he could not communicate to me what he wanted.…
